Gate-side in Terminal 1 with last-minute Tunis gifts
This Souvenir Store sits airside in Terminal 1 at Tunis Carthage, open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. It’s the obvious stop if you realize at the gate that you forgot something for home and don’t want to walk back toward check‑in or duty free.
The focus is classic Tunisia souvenirs: expect fridge magnets with Carthage ruins, small ceramic plates, keychains, and basic postcards tied to Tunis and Sidi Bou Said. Prices hover in the 5–25 TND range for small pieces, with a few larger items creeping higher, so it’s more “quick token” than serious shopping.
You won’t find food staples like olive oil cans or harissa jars in the same depth as the main duty free in Terminal 1, and there’s usually less choice than downtown Medina shops. Think compact shelves aimed at carry‑on space: small textiles, simple bracelets, and airport‑safe items that slip into a backpack without repacking.
Staff typically ring you up in dinars but often accept euros for totals above about 10 EUR, with change given in TND. Card payments run through the same terminals used elsewhere in T1, so chip‑and‑PIN Visa and Mastercard usually work as long as the network isn’t acting up at peak departures.
Plan about 5–10 minutes to scan the shelves and pay; it’s close enough to most Terminal 1 gates that you can duck in after boarding starts, but check your gate number first so you don’t cut it tight with bus‑boarding flights.
